Join Us at Joomla Day New York, October 22 - 23, 2011

Written by Michel van Agtmaal

The Joomla User Group of NYC just announced JoomlaDay NYC, to be held October 22-23 in Microsoft Technology Center in downtown Manhatten. I am happy to be able to join a dozen speakers from all over the world. I will present 'Choosing extensions for Joomla' on Saturday October 22.

With over 8,000 extensions published in Joomla's Extensions Directory (JED), the question arises what to use when developing or extending a Joomla site. I will help you define clear criteria and methods to find and select the best possible extensions for your project.

Day 1 of the event will be a 'typical' Joomla Day with four different workshops offered at each time slot. There is a beginners track, an all levels track, a track for Joomla users with some experience, and a developers track.

Day 2 is dedicated to developers only! Each workshop will be a minimum of two hours long, so you will have enough time to really get into the topic at hand.

Feel free to contact me in case you plan to visit Joomla Day NYC and want to discuss business with me in person. I will have one or two days extra and will be happy to grab a coffee with you or setup a meeting.

Speaking At The JoomlaDay UK - March 13 And 14, 2009

At the upcoming JoomlaDay UK, Michel van Agtmaal, Founder of Open Source Support Desk, will share with you how to take responsibility for open source initiatives to ensure you have the right support structures in place before launch.

Deciding which open source support options are best depends on a number of factors, including which open source software the organization deploys, how it is used, and what the organization's own software-support capabilities are. Your open source support needs will vary, depending upon the type and purpose of the software used.

Michel will give an overview of traditionally available types of support in the industry. With a 90 day plan, he will help you in crafting a support strategy.
